I have never been a fan of eating liver. The thought of eating an organ that filters the body's toxins and catches all the excess minerals just kind of grosses me out. However, if you aren't grossed out by my unscientific reply, then be sure you eat organically pastured pig.

I was raised in a farm and my father would have us eat everything from the pig. We ate , liver, kidneys, heart and even the tongue. When I left home at the age of 18 I never ate it again but I have read that the liver is really good for us with Hep c. It says that the toxins that it filters does not stay in the liver but actually in the body tissue and fat of the pig.   Anyway, did not mean to gross anyone but I wanted to know if anyone had read about it. Thanks

How is it going with treatment Willie?  Funny post, my father (Farmer in the Redlands) would teach us everything from survival in the woods to eating snakes. When he would plan a trip we would all (including my friends) wounder what the heck he was going to come up with. On a trip to the Everglades he left us and our girlfriends (now my wife) out there for the entire night and picked us up in the morning. That was the last time my friends went to the Glades with us:) Trust me, I have have seen and tried crazy s____t.

Lucinda, I was not aware that you where cured by Sol/Led. I have read that there are almost no sides and the meds are safer than the protease inhibitors that we have now.   How was the treatment for you as to sides?

Since I was in a clinical trial, I was randomized to the arm that also used ribavrin, so I had side effects. However, I knew a lot of people who didn't have to take riba, and they had a mild intermittent headache that was easily treated with acetaminophen. They all cleared.
